Over the course of his 40-year career, John Wayne appeared in countless iconic movies, yet there is one Western from 1965 that deserves to be rediscovered in the modern day. Although Wayne is a household name today, the actor started out as a mere prop boy in the 1920s. During this era of silent film, he did behind-the-scenes work and took on background roles. This trend continued until the 1930s, when Wayne got his breakthrough in the legendary John Ford Western, Stage Coach. From there, Wayne’s popularity only grew. He became known for his Westerns and war movies.
